Name of artist: Sierra McIntyre Medium: Digital mixed media Number of pieces: 5 Year of completion: 2018 Name of artwork: Through my eyes
My artwork is focused around eyes because they are what speak in my pieces. Everyone views everything in a different way and nobody is the same. We all see and perceive the world in our own personal ways. One thing can mean 2 things, 10 things, etc. Sometimes as humans, we wish we can see things in a different way than which we already do. Here in my pieces, I changed the way some eyes view the world or the way the world views that eye. Furthermore, not only does everybody in the world view this eye uniquely, but this eye also views itself differently than the world views it. This is known as self perception. Also, everybody has a creative eye for something in their life, whether its taking a photo, designing a house, planting a garden or even cooking a meal. We all know how to use our creativity and how to work it into our everyday lifestyle. In terms of the face in my artwork makeup was included on the eyelids to include more colour and detail. Eyeshadow and eyeliner was added to the eyes and a natural lipstick was applied to the lips, however face makeup looked too unnatural to add. I also decided to include a male in my project to avoid being sexist to genders other than female that wear makeup.
